Building DD-WRT from source is difficult and according to the text here definitly not working on first try. You will see lots of strange errors and many confusing install-scripts.
The forum is full of people who were not able to make this install-procedure running through. The infos in the forum is much newer than these here, but also very confusing and mixed up.
Brainslayer does not have the time to do everything. If this happens and I don't update them, please take the time to update them if you are sure your changes are appropriate. It should work on any reasonably modern machine with basic development tools installed. Please be aware that the repository contains the sources for several linux kernel versions for each hardware platform, so be prepared for a very long download 18G.
As of May , the selective checkout is 2. You can also visit the github mirror of dd-wrt for alternate download options This is a just a mirror, pull requests on github will not be merged. You'll need the 3. They are available at toolchains. The mips-uclibc 3. Unpack the toolchains wherever you desire, the scripts below will set up symlinks appropriately.
